ISLAMABAD:The Supreme Court on Tuesday referred back to the Election Commission the petitions against the delimitations of provincial constituencies PS 7, 8, and 9 Shikarpur.
The case was heard by a two-member Supreme Court bench headed by the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial. These petitions were filed in the Supreme Court in 2018.
During the hearing, the CJP said the Election Commission of Pakistan should conduct delimitations of constituencies in a transparent manner.
